Trading in for a 3rd row vehicle

I'm considering trading in a 2012 Toyota Prius with roughly less then 40k miles in for a 3rd row SUV. To be more specific I got my eyes on a 2004 Lincoln Navigator Luxury 4WD for $6,495. Last I checked my Prius is worth $10k-$11k (still yet to get it appraised). Would it be worth it? Any other recommendations for a 3rd row SUV? I own the Prius and I'm not trying to owe any money/make payments on another vehicle I'm just looking to trade it in with no debt so any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I would stay away from the Navigator, Expedition, just too many
problems, I would recommend Yukon XL or just a straight Yukon,
Tahoe, over the years I have owned and professionally worked
both Ford and GM, and the GM's have without fail provided the
best track record with the least amount of out of pocket repairs
than the Fords. But this is just my opinion, I'm sure there are
some Fords that have a good record but I was never fortunate
enough to get one.

I appreciate the info I'm going to definitely look into
that. Another I was thinking about what something
like the Infinite QX, Lexus GX or Toyota Saquoia
would you recommend those vehicles? Not really a
fan of the Nissan logo but also considering one
those too. What's your thoughts on those vs
Chevy/GMC/Ford?

The Lexus and the Toyota are both good rigs but stay away from
the Nissan ie Infinite. I would pick the Toyota over a Ford, the Toyota
will cost a little more to maintain than the GM product but it is well
worth considering. As with any used vehicle make sure you have it
checked over by your mechanic, it is money well spent.

interesting when they quit making them, other than having bad
trannies the few I've drove with the 360 engine seemed good, but
never owned one.
